So looking at the links and online upto 65 is one possible outcome and then 66 and over is another. Has anyone ever asked to see if the police speed guns are calibrated etc as it was a mobile police van that caught me? I only ask as it’s 66 I was caught doing.

There has to be a line drawn somewhere.
Guess what, the line moves to 66mph (only 1mph more) and then all those caught at 67mph will use the same argument. Zero point going the "calibration" route. Yes it will have been, no you're not entitled to see anything prior to pleading not guilty.

Pop your details over to Pepipoo and they will more or less tell you exactly what you'll get from your day in court.
